Family travel - 059/100 -

I’m planning to travel to Hokkaido. My family and my parents are going to visit Asahikawa and Biei in Hokkaido. There aren’t many hotels or holiday flats, so I’ve booked a slightly more expensive flat than I expected. Also, there are hardly any rental cars available. I think many people will visit Hokkaido in the summer.

Original statement

I plan traveling to Hokkaido. My family and my parents going to visit Asahikawa and Biei in Hokkaido.

There are not many hotels and condos. So I reserve little bit expensive condo than I thought. And rental cars don’t almost exist. I think that many people will go to Hokkaido in summer.

Explanation of corrections

1.“I plan traveling to Hokkaido” → “I’m planning to travel to Hokkaido”

“Plan” is usually followed by “to + verb”, not a gerund. Also, present continuous (“I’m planning”) sounds more natural for future arrangements.

2.“My family and my parents going” → “My family and my parents are going”

The verb “are” was missing. Subject-verb agreement is essential.

3.“condos” → “holiday flats”

In British English, “condos” isn’t commonly used. “Flats” or “holiday flats” is more natural.

4.“There are not many hotels and condos” → “There aren’t many hotels or holiday flats”

“Aren’t” is the contracted and more natural form.

Use “or” instead of “and” when expressing a shortage or negative list.

5.“I reserve little bit expensive condo than I thought” → “I’ve booked a slightly more expensive flat than I expected”

“Reserve” becomes “book” in UK English usage for accommodations.

“Little bit expensive” is incorrect grammar. Use “a slightly more expensive…”.

Use present perfect (“I’ve booked”) for recent, relevant past actions.

6.“rental cars don’t almost exist” → “there are hardly any rental cars available”

The phrase “don’t almost exist” is unnatural. Instead, “hardly any” expresses near non-existence smoothly.

7.“in summer” → “in the summer”

British English typically uses “the summer”, while American English might drop “the”.
